Is if deceitful to ask God for forgiveness just to go back to doing that same thing you asked for forgiveness for?

Yes, it is deceitful to ask God for forgiveness just to turn around and commit the same sin again. By asking for forgiveness, you're acknowledging that the action in question is wrong, yet not taking steps to change your ways. This can come across as insincere and manipulative, as you are simply seeking to get forgiveness without actually making the necessary changes. It's important to take responsibility for your actions and to try to make amends when you've made a mistake or hurt someone. Asking God for forgiveness can be a good way to ask for help and to seek guidance, but it must be accompanied by real efforts to change.

no and no. not deceit because whatever you plan he knows. nor when sin again, not undo a previous prayer because different time.

So in other words, you’re not lying to him because he knew before you decided to repent that you wouldn’t and don’t mean it, you’re just lying to and deceiving yourself.
